I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The Minister for Environment has provided the
following response.

Department of Parks and Wildlife has not entered into a formal term contract
with Working on Fire. Working on Fire has been engaged on a day-to-day,
fee-for-service basis as fire management circumstances have required.

Can I ask that the business of the
house resume?
The PRESIDENT : As it is your birthday, I believe
we could do that. It must be birthday season; Lisa Parrella had a birthday yesterday.
